US mint sets 1958 and before are double sets so a 1957 will have 2 of each coin with a face value of $3.64. This was done so both sides of each coin from each mint could be displayed in the cardboard holders that came with the set.
Value depends on if it's a Mint issue Uncirculated coin set which would have two examples from each Mint (20 coins) that struck coins for circulation in 1957 or a Mint issue Proof set that has only 5 coins in it. Post new question.
A 1955 US Mint set contained 22 coins. It had 2 coins from each Mint that produced coins for circulation. All US Mint sets from 1947 through 1958 are double sets.
The set should have coins from the Denver mint & the Philadelphia mint. 5 from each mint
9 coins: $4708 coins: $170
Mint sets from this year have 2 of each coin an were packaged in cardboard.This caused the coins to tarnish,If your set is in good condition with no tarnish value could exceed $300.00. ----- The price varies according to the market. As of 2012-07-25, PCGS lists it as: 1956 Mint Set: $170 [1956 Proof Set: $57]
It would depend upon which 4 coins are in the set.
Special mint sets were produced in 1965, 1966 and 1967. You are probably refering to the uncirculated mint set produced by the mint as a collector set for most years since 1947. The difference between a proof set and a mint set is this; the proof coin is struck with specially prepared dies that are polished and free from nicks and scratches. This gives the coin a mirror like appearance. Coins in a mint set are just everyday coins struck for circulation but are packaged for sale to collectors as examples of the coins minted that year. In 1961 they minted a proof set which consisted of a 5 coin proof set and and a mint set which consisted of two 5 coin uncirculated sets with one from the denver mint and one from the philadelphia mint.
A mint set contains uncirculated coins from a specific mint in a specific year. Proof coins are specially made for collectors, minted with a higher quality finish, even mirror-like on some surfaces. Currently in the U.S., mint sets are available from Philadelphia and Denver, while proof coins are minted in San Francisco.
You have to set up and account with the mint, it is very easy to do by phone or the web
The U.S. did not make proof sets in 1967, only special mint sets. The coins were copper-nickel except for the half dollar which was 40% silver. If you have a special mint set its value is about $10 retail. With the price of silver where it is you have 15 to 20 bucks in silver alone. If these is the 1967 Candien proof set i have seen them go for close to 50 bucks on eBay and that's starting the biding at a penny and watching it rise. I personal think the value is in how cool each coin is Candians seem to have more intresting coin designs than Amercain coins
The 1999 Uncirculated Mint set has 18 coins in it but no silver coins. Retail value $14.00 The 1999s Silver Proof set has 9 coins in it. The half, quarters and dime are 90% silver. retail value $288.00
There are two different sets of coins released by the US Mint every year. The uncirculated coin set contains one coin of each denomination from the Philadelphia mint and Denver mint. These are called P-D sets. This set will have twice the number of coins as the proof set for the same year. For 1999, the uncirculated coin set has 18 coins total and is worth $23.00 according to numismedia.com. The proof set for 1999 contains 9 coins and is worth $55.00.
